SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 611,544, datedSeptember 27,

Application led November 23, 1897. Serial No. 659,587- (No model.)

To Ct/Z whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES J. VOLF, of Memphis, in the county of Shelbyand State of Tennessee, have invented a new and Improved Coin-Counter,of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention is an apparatus for receiving money and for automaticallymaking change upon the striking by the operator of a key denoting .theamount of the purchase.

This specication is the disclosure of one form of my invention, whilethe claims define the actual scope of the conception.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar characters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the figures.

is a fragmentary View, partly in section,

showing the two-dollar-note receptacle and the means operated by saidnote-receptacle for adjusting the ejector-plates. Fig. 19 is a detailview of the sectional shafting for adjusting the ejector-plates, andFig. 20` is a section on the line 20 2O in Fig. 19.

. The machine is mounted on a central baseplate 2l and on two sidebase-plates 22 and 23. The main or central base-plate 21 supports acasing 24, wherein is contained the mechanism for receiving and ejectingcoin. The end plate 22 carries the five-dollar and ten-dollar notereceptacles, and the end plate 23 carries the one-dollar and two-dollarnote receptacles.

I will first describe the means for receiving the coin and for ejectingfromjthe casing 24 the requisite change. Formed in the plates of thecasing 24 are five glass-faced coinstacks 25, 26, 27, 2S, and 29,respectively designed to receive dimes, nickels, quarters, halves, anddollars in coin. The coin are introduced into the coin-stacks throughopenings in the tops thereof. At the base of the .coin-stack 25 twoejeetor-p1ates 30 are arranged. The plates are mounted to slidehorizontally on a bed-plate 31 and are superposed one upon the other,each ejector-plate having an opening capable of receiving a dime, sothat as the ejector-plates aremoved outward one dime will be dischargedfor each plate. A shelf 32 is held rigidly at the front of the machineto receive the coin thus ejected. At the base of the stack 2G twoejector-plates 33, similar to the plates 30, are arranged. At the baseof the stack 27 one ejector-plate 34, similar to the previouslydescribedej coter-plates, is arranged. At the base of the stack 28 oneejector-plate 35 is arranged, and at the base of the stack 29 fourejector-plates 36 are arranged. These ejector-plates are showncollectively in Figs. 1 and 2.

Each ejector-plate is provided with a box 37. In coin-stacks where thereare more than one ejector-plate the boxes 37 are offset laterally, sothat the ejectorplates will be ar ranged in a pile one above the otherand so that the boxes will all slide on the bed-`plate 31 in the samehorizontal plane. This arrangement is illustrated best in Fig. 2. Thecoin-stack 2G for nickels is provided with two IOO ejector-plates, andconsequently with two boxes 37. Fig. 7 shows one of the boxes 37 indetail. In this box is a vertically-movable locking-pin 38, that isnormally entered in a vertical passage 39, formed in the bed-plate 31,whereby the particular box 37 and the attached slide 30 are locked tothe bed-plate. A sliding pin 40 is held loosely in the passage 39, so asto be capable of engaging the pin 38 and pressing the same upward torelease the ejector-plate 33 that is concerned with the pin 38. The pin40 is raised by a lever 41, fulcrumed beneath the bed-plate, andactuated in turn by a rod 42, that is vertically slidable in thebed-plate and provided with a rounded head engaged by a cam 43 on thebottom of a sliding plate 44. The plate 44 is mounted in the top of thecoin-stack25,which is for dimes, and when a coin is pushed into thestack the plate 44 is moved rearward, the rod 42 is depressed, and thelever 41 is rocked to release the pin 38. There are two ejectorplates 33for the coin-stack 26, but only one is controlled by the plate 44 of thecoin-stack 25. The other ejector-plate 33 acts with mechanism to behereinafter described. Now, when a dime is inserted into the stack 25 itmay sometimes be desired to obtain one nickel for change. Consequentlythe abovedescribed mechanism is provided, and this mechanism upon theinsertion of the dime releases the said one of the ejector-plates 33 andpermits one nickel to be obtained from the machine by certain keymechanism that4 will receive description hereinafter.

All of the boxes 37, with the exception of the one for theejector-plates 33 and which has been just described, are normallyunlocked from the bed-plate 31 in contradistinction to being normallylocked to the bedplate, as is the case with the box 37 having the pin 38therein. Said boxes are provided with means by which they may be lockedwith the bed-plate to prevent the operation of the ejector-plates towhich they are attached. The means consist, as shown in Figs. 13, 14,15, and 1 7, of a spring-pressed pin 45, vertically movable in each box37, (with the single exception of the box 37 having the pin 38.) Eachpin 45 is capable of moving downward against the spring to engage arecess in the bed-plate 3l. In order to hold the pins 45 in theirlowered position, I provide a springpressed dog 46, that engages overthe tops of collars arranged one on each pin 45. Consequently when thepins 45 are pushed downward the dogs 46 automatically engage with thesaid collars to hold the pins 45 downward and in locked position on thebed-plate.

Mounted to slide transversely and arranged horizontally within thecasing 24 is a carriage-bar 47, connected with a link 68, in turnconnected to a lever 49. The lever 49 is operated by ahorizontally-sliding push-bar 50, the front end of which projectsthrough the front side of the casing 24. The carriage-bar 47 is providedwith a series of holes respectively adapted to receive the pins 45. Thepins 45 are normally engaged with the carriage-bar 47, so that as thecarriage-bar is drawn outward by the retractile springs 48 the boxes 37which have their pins 45 engaged with the carriage-bar 47 will be movedoutward with the carriage-bar, and the attached ejector-plates will bepushed outward, as shown with reference to one plate in Fig. 13, wherebya coin is discharged. Fig. 13 shows one of the ejector-plates 36 of thedollar-coin stack 29 pushed outward to deliver one dollar upon the shelf32, which operation is accomplished by the connection of one of theboxes 37 of the series that are attached to the plates 36 with thecarriage-bar 47.

The upper end of each coin-stack 26, 27, 28, and 29 is provided with ahorizontallymovable slide-plate 51, similar to the slideplate 44,excepting that no cams are attached to the plates 51. The slide-plates44 and 51 respectively engage forwardly spring-pressed arms 52. A rigidshaft 57 carries four loose sleeves 53, 54, 55, and 56. The contiguousends of each sleeve are mortised into each other, so that the sleeve 56when rocked by the rearward movement of the attached arm 52 will notcommunicate movement to the sleeve 55, so that the sleeve 55 when movedrearward will communicate its movement to the sleeve 56, but not to thesleeve 55, so that the sleeve 54 when moved rearward will communicateits movement to the sleeve 53, and consequently to the sleeve 56, butnot to the sleeve 53, and so that the sleeve 53 when moved rearward willnot communicate its movement to the sleeve 54. The arms 52 that aredevoted to the coin-stacks 25 and 26 are attached to the sleeve 53, thearm 52 of the coin-stack 27 is attached to the sleeve 54, the arm 52 ofthe coin-stack 28 is attached to the sleeve 55, and the arm 52 of thecoin-stack 29 is attached to the sleeve 56. has three arms 58 rigidlyattached thereto and projecting rearwardly therefrom. The sleeve 54 hasa single arm 59, similar to the arms 58. The sleeve 55 has a single arm60, similar to the arms before mentioned, and the sleeve 56 has fourarms 61, also similar to the arms before mentioned. There are nine boxes37, having each a pin 45, and there are nine arms 58, 59, 60, and 6l,respectively coacting with vertically-movable rods 62, held in a tubularframe-bar 63, which in turn is held rigidly by the casing 24horizontally above the normal position of the carriage-bar 47. Each rod62 is held up by a spring contained within the bar 63. The rearwardmovement of the arms 52 rocks their several sleeves and in turntransmits a downward movement to the appropriate arms 58, 59, 60, and61, which in turn move downward certain of the rods 62. These rods 62,as shown best in Fig. 13, pass through the carriage-bar 47 and push thepins 45 downward out of engagement with the carriage-bar and intoengagement with the bed-plate 31 of the three arms 58. Two of such Thesleeve 53 IOO IIO

arms refer to the ejector-plates 30, while the third arm 5S acts withthe second ejectorplate 53 or that plate which is not affected by theslide-plate 44.

Mounted at the forward portion of the machine are a series ofspring-pressed keys 64. Each key 64 engages the leg 65 of a certaintumbler-plate. Each tumbler-plate consists in a leg 65, a horizontalbody portion 66, and a certain combination of upwardly-extendingprojections 67, standing on the body portion 66. The tumbler-plates areheld to slide vertically in guides secured to the interior walls of thecasing 24. Rocking on a transverse shaft 63a are a series of levers 69.These levers 69 respectively engage the rods 62, so that upon theoperation of the levers 69 the rods 62 will also be operated. Thecombinations of projections 67 on the tumbler-plates is such as causescertain of the series of projections to engage certain of the levers 69.The keys 64 are provided with numbers ranging from 5 to 95 andrepresenting cents,and from l to 5 and representing dollars. Each keymoves up a certain tumbler-plate, and the combination of projections 67on that certain tunibler-plate moves downward such rod 62 as will lockwith the bed-plate 31 all of the boxes 37 excepting those boxes whichare attached to the ejector-plates that will give from `the machinechange from the amount of money that was inserted in the machine. Forexample, assuming that fifty cents is tendered in payment of athirty-cent purchase the fifty-cent coin is inserted in the stack28,which pushes rearward the corresponding plate 5l and throws thesleeve 55 rearward. This also turns the sleeve 56 rearward, whichresults in locking to the bed-plate the ejector-plates for thecoin-stacks 28 and 29. The ejectorplates of the other coin-stacksareileft free to move. The change to be taken must be derived from thestacks 25, 26, and 27 and, with reference to the above-cited example,never from the stacks 28 and 29. Now the operator presses down the key64 having the number 30 thereon. This key lifts a certain tumbler-plate,which tumbler-plate has such a combination of projections 67 thereonthat the levers 69 which are related to the coinstacks 26 and 27 aremoved to` throw down the corresponding pins 62 and lock theejectorplates of the stacks 26 and 27. This leaves unlocked the ejector-plates of the single coinstack25, which contains the dimes. Thereare two ejector plates for the dime coin stacks. Consequently when therod 50 is pushed inward the carriage-bar 47 is moved forward, drivingwith it only the ejectorplates of the stack 25, and consequentlydischarging two ten-cent pieces, which is twenty cents and which makesthe change of fifty cents on a thirty-cent purchase. The machine is soconstructed that normally upon pushing inward the bar 56 coin will beejected from every coin-stack excepting the coinstack to which the pin38 is related. When a coin is inserted and when change is to be secured,the above-described mechanism operates to lock suoli of theejector-plates as are unnecessary and to leave unlocked thoseejector-plates which will give out the proper coin in change. As thecarriage-bar 47 moves outward it has no effect upon the dogs 46; butwhen the carriage-bar moves inward iingers 70, having a knuckle-jointconnection with the bar, engage the several dogs 46 and disconnect thesame from the pins 45. Consequently all of the pins 45 are moved upwardout of engagement with the bed-plate 3l and again into engagement withthe carriage-bar 47. The rod 50 is provided with a stud 7l, that uponthe inward movement of the rod operates an alarm-bell 72. A spring 73presses the rod 50 inward. The rod 50 has a projection 74 extendingdownward and normally engaging a spring-lifted lock-plate 75. Thelocking-plate 75 is in connectionwith the keys 64 by means of adownwardly-extending portion 67. (Shown in Figs. l and 2.) As the keys64 are moved downward the plate 75 is also moved downward, and the rod50, by the action of the spring 73 and the springs on the arms 52, isdrawn rearward, so as to operate the carriage-bar 47. This operation ofthe carriage-bar 47 is also assisted by the springs 4S. The abovedescription being of the means for handling the coin does not extend tothe means for handling the paper notes. I vwill now describe themechanism for receiving the notes and for giving the change therefrom.

The note-receptacles are designed for onedollar, two-dollar,five-dollar, and ten-dollar notes. The one-dollar and two-dollarreceptacles are arranged one aboveV the other and consist each in astationary shell 77, which are held to end heads 78, attached to astandard 79, secured on the base-plate 23. A shaft SO runs horizontallythrough each shell 77. These shafts 8O are shown with their outer endsbroken away in the drawings, but these outer ends in practice may bemade to carry the work or other device by which the shafts may beturned. Each shaft also has a ratchetwheel 81,'pressed by a pawl 82,which prevents retrograde movement of the shafts. Fixed to the shaftsare the respective pocketed drums 83, which are exposed by openings 84in the shells 77, and the detail construction of which will be describedhereinafter with reference to the five-dollar and ten-dollarreceptacles. The inner ends of the pocketed drums S3 are respectivelyprovided with heads 85 and 87, that turn with the note-receptacles andwith the shafts 80. The heads S5 and 87 are provided with pins S6,projecting toward the casing 24.' The pins S6 on the head 85 aredesigned to engage an arm SS, fixed on the sleeve 56,'which is projectedthrough one wall of the casing 24 to permit such an arrangement.Consequently as the head 85 is turned in the direction of the arrowshown in Fig.. 16 the arm 8S will be rocked, as the dotted lines in saidfigure show, andthe sleeve 56 will be IOO IIO

thrown rearward to lock the ejector-plates of the stack 29, for if onedollar is tendered to make a payment no change over one dollar will everneed be given. The pins 86 of the head 87 are designed to engage With anarm 89, fixed on a short shaft mounted in one side of the casing 24 andcarrying Within the casing 24 an arm 90, which in turn carries a bar 91,that engages under three of the levers 69 of the four levers 69 that arerelated to the stack 29, so that as a two-dollar bill is inserted withinthe two-dollar receptacle the arm 89 will be operated, which will throwupward the arm 90 and the bar 91 and cause three of the ejector-platesin the stack 29 to be locked, leaving unlocked a single ejector-plate inthe stack 29, which enables change of any amount lower than tWo dollarsto be taken from the machine. When a note is inserted in either of theone-dollar or two-dollar pocketed drums 83, such drums are turned onepocket by turning the shafts 80, which also turns the pins 86 andconsequently causes the above-described operation to take place Withreference to the coin-ejector plates.

The five-dollar and ten-dollar note receptacles have no connection withthe coin-stacks. These receptacles have such connection with each otherso that upon placing a ten-dollar note within its receptacle afive-dollar note may be withdrawn. The five-dollar and tendollar notereceptacles have shafts 92, fixed in a standard 93 on the base-plate 22and in the casing 24. Rigid exterior shells 94 inclose the shafts 92 andhave heads 95, connected with the standard 93, so that the shells andheads are held rigid. Mounted to turn loosely on each shaft 92 is asleeve 96. The sleeves 96 are provided With radial partitions 97,forming pockets in which the notes are placed. The note-receptacles forone dollars and two dollars are the same as those for five dollars andten dollars. The shells 94 are provided with openings 98, through Whichthe notes may be passed. Each sleeve 96 is provided With a crank arm 99,by which the sleeves may be turned, While the upper sleeve,

. or that in the ten-dollar-note receptacle, is

provided with a ratchet-disk 100 and pawl101 to prevent back movement ofthe parts. Vhen a ten-dollar note is inserted Within the appropriatereceptacle, the crank 99 of the ten-dollar receptacle is turned toadvance the sleeve 96 sufficiently to turn one partition 97 past theopening 98. This also turns the gear 102, which gear is fixed to thesleeve 96 of the ten-dollar-note receptacle. This transmits movement tothe gear 103, Which is loose on the shaft 96 of the iive-dollar-notereceptacle. The gear 103 has an internal ratchet 104, engaged by apawl105, which is loosely carried on an arm 106, fixed to the shaft 96of the five dollar note receptacle. Through the means of this pawl 105and arm 106 the turning of the gear 103 turns the partitions 97 of thefive-dollar-note receptacle one point, so that as ten dollars isinserted and the notereceptacle revolved to secure the ten-dollar alive-dollar note is uncovered and may be taken from the machine forchange. When a five-dollar note is inserted, the pawl 105 permits thepartitions 97 of the five-dollarnote receptacle to be turned to securethe fivedollar note; but this turning of the five-dollar-note receptacledoes not infiuence the tendollar note receptacle. When five dollars andten dollars are inserted in the machine, if it be necessary to takechange smaller than the five dollars this may be done by operating theone-dollar and two-dollar note receptacles, which will also open foroperation the coin-receptacles.

A series of levers 107 are mounted in the upper portion of the casing 24and are provided with plates 108, on which numbers are producedindicating the amount of the purchase. These levers 107 are operated byrods 109 in connection with the levers 69, and the arrangement is suchthat when a certain lever 69 is operated the proper amount Will beshown, by means of the plates 83, through an opening 110 formed in thefront of the casing 24. The rods 109 are also in connection with asuitable recorder 111, that keeps a record of the transactions of themachine.
